This black cat is a total beach bum and even loves to play in the waves! (Gallery)

Meet Nathan the beach cat!

Nathan was an indoor cat when they adopted her, but they wanted to see if she'd like the outdoors.

"She followed us as we walked around the beach. She was a very good girl and didn't even need her leash," Melissa told BuzzFeed News. Rian (Nathan's human dad) walked into the water, and Nathan followed him in. "Each time we took her to the beach, her confidence would grow and she would wet herself more and more until she would eventually swim!" said Melissa.
